Atletico Madrid press for Milanโ€™s Theo Hernandez amidst Al-Hilal interest

La Liga outfits Atletico Madrid are pressing to sign Milan left-back Theo Hernandez as Al-Hilal remain a threat.

According to a report by Gianluca Di Marzio, Atletico Madrid have decided not to bow down to Saudi Arabian competition as they are actively negotiating with Milan for Theo Hernandez.ย 

There is still a huge gap to be bridged by the Spanish club as their undisclosed offer price is worth much less than the Rossoneriโ€™s demands. It is of no surprise that Milan have increased their asking price following the introduction of Al-Hilal as a potential destination for Hernandez.ย 

Milan will not accept any players in exchange and are looking to get only cash to ease their finances from the Frenchmanโ€™s sale. Sporting director Igli Tare is working to get the maximum value for their star player after selling Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City for a sizeable package.ย 

Hernandez prefers to move to Atletico Madrid and his reluctance to go to Saudi Arabia could appear as an advantage for Los Colchoneros.ย
